One year of "#wedraaiendoor"
It's been a year since Anne and I were chatting. She was posting associations from music and I really wanted to join in. She was so kind to join in on my idea to pingpong our musical associations from one to another in order to challenge us to a wider range of music.
The ping-pong triggers chats on a weekly basis and the searches of music on Apple Music and Youtube and many lyrics websites are energizing and fun. Sometimes we find the link immediately, sometimes we chew on our options for weeks. Yes, I say weeks even though there is only a few days between our music posts because in reality our enthusiasm often takes us ahead of our planning by multiple weeks. And then it's ok to chew on a new choice for a week...and then jump ahead a few more posts in the next 15 minutes. Hahaha, anything is possible.
I figured it would be fun to list all our choices of the past year subsequently. Can you spot our links and associations. Do you remember why we jumped from one song to another?
